Famous quotes containing the words needle and/or palm:
“I am obnoxious to each carping tongue
Who says my hand a needle better fits,
A poets pen, all scorn, I should thus wrong;
For such despite they cast on female wits:
If what I do prove well, it wont advance,
Theyll say its stolen, or else it was by chance.”
—Anne Bradstreet (c. 16121672)
“The body, what is it, Father, but a sign
To love the force that grows us, to give back
What in Thy palm is senselessness and mud?”
—Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)
